How to customize a toolbar in Eclipse?

Question

I am trying to customize Eclipse to speed up development and minimize distractions for Android Java development.

I am using SourceGear Vault for source control and installed the plugin for Eclipse. So to check stuff in/out, I have to right click on the Project/File, go to Team submenu, then pick a source control command (Check In, Check Out, Get Latest, etc...). I find this process slow. I'd like a button on the toolbar and a keyboard shortcut to do these operations.

I tried going to Customize Perspective, but under Team toolbar, there is only Synchronize command.
And I have no idea how to setup a shortcut for the SCC operations either as they are not present in Shortcuts tab.

Am I missing something simple?

Answer 1

(Revised)

Look in the Command Groups Availability tab of the dialog you get when you do the Customize Perspective and you should see an entry related to your VCS; turn this entry on and then go back to the Toolbar Visibility and you should see more stuff (under the name of the VCS). The Team area is not going to have what you want; the commands are grouped by the VCS name, like git, SVN, etc.

Sorry for the initial answer, I mis-read part of your question.

Answer 2

Eclipse Photon

• Window
• Perspective
• Customize Perspective

Now you can check and uncheck checkboxes to customize the buttons that show up.

Tested on Photon Release Candidate 3 (4.8.0RC3).

Answer 3

I find that if you are currently using a base perspective that comes standard with the Eclipse install you need to: "Window -> Save Perspective As..." first. Then you can just customise the tool bar as you please.
